New venue. New plays. Same rebellious attitude.

The fifth annual Collective:10 followed four previous SOLD OUT C:10 productions, and featured 11 original plays selected from hundreds of submissions. This year, we took over a loft in the Flatiron and invited you to experience these provocative stories up close in our most intimate setting to date. It was a raw, bare bones chance to experience something real in a political and social climate that constantly puts truth and human connection to the test. Thank you to those who dared to come get uncomfortable with us.

Five plays premiered November 1-5, and another six plays premiered November 8-12. All of this year's plays will be published in The Collective:10 Play Anthology, Vol. 5, which will also feature two additional new plays.

Thank you to all who joined us this year and participated in our NO EMPTY SEATS initiative!Please make a donation so that others can join the experience next time.
